Static tendon attachments for motile tensile truss appliances are described which are simultaneously economic and support full undiminished service lifespans. These attachments impose compliant tendon bending over a substantial curvature, wherein the bending of a tendon follows an in-plane changing direction aligned to a tendon paired non-static pulley or sheave attachment. Attachments for trusses which have platforms which move extensively in three dimensions are described which have only a single rotating axis. Attachments for trusses which have platforms which move linearly, or in a plane, are described which have no moving parts other than the tendon itself. Attachments are presented for trussed platforms having 6 Degrees Of Freedom (6DOF), such as those useful for house 3D cement printers. Alternate attachments are presented for trussed platforms constrained to planar motion such as drop plotters, and in linear movement trusses such as semiconductor FOUP hoists, anti-sway cranes, and elevators.
